Sorry, I've been out of the power to upvote all morning.
As I said in the prior post, is there anything Eddy Redmayne can't do? And shout outs to Anne Hathaway, Samantha Barks and the rest of the cast.
I love that song too. Gives me the chills every time I hear it. This story never gets old for me, and my father read it to me when I was young and then I saw it twice on Broadway, crying buckets both times. (That and "The Count of Monte Cristo". They should do a musical of that as well.) Then I went to see the movie in theaters, and bought the DVD, which my daughter and I would watch every once in a while. I miss her a lot and was thinking of those times so I decided to watch it again.
By no means do I excuse the excesses of what came after, but I understand viscerally why the ancien regime had to go.
